Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] D Jake McCabe signs extension with the Maple Leafs (5 years, $4.51M AAV; deferred salary between year 2 and 3)

Solid singing. I was expecting 5-5.5 if he leveraged potential free agency.

He will basically be 32 when that deal kicks in, I doubt teams would be lining up to give him 5-5.5 mil at that term.

Hate the deferred money. Get it out of the playbook in the next CBA.

 

[CraigBillington]

Deferred money is counted in the AAV at a discount rate based presumably on SOFR.

McCabe is deferring $5.5m to year 6, the NPV (net present value) of that deferral is included in the AAV at 4.55m. That’s a reduction of $199k/year on the AAV.

What i don't get is the between years 2 and 3 part

Seems fair

Cap hit is full market rate but fair, but the term is going to get real ugly at 5 years when the guy is already 31 yrs old.

I mean we handed Tanev 6 years at 34 years old
